Steps:
- Place in a small mixing bowl the olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, ground coriander and salt. Using a wire whisk, blend well.

- Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and broil in a broiling pan 3 to 4 inches from the source for 4 minutes on the first side.
- Turn the chicken over, and broil it for 3 to 4 minutes more or until done. Do not overcook.
- Reduce temperature to 400 degrees. Return the chicken to the baking dish, and add the melted butter to the sauce in the pan. Return to the oven, and bake for 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the fresh coriander, and serve.
